Examples of such functions include data and voice communications, image and video capture via camera, audio recording, music file playback, and music output via a speaker system. , and displaying images and video on a display. Some terminals include additional functionality that supports games, while other terminals are also configured as media players. More recently, mobile terminals have been configured to receive broadcast and multicast signals that allow viewing of content, such as videos and television programs. Generally, telininals can be classified into mobile terminals and fixed terminals depending on the presence or absence of mobility. And, the mobile terminals can be further classified into hand-held terminals and vehicle-mounted terminals with a possibility of wearing by hand.

Referring again to FIG. 1A, various components shown in this figure will now be described in greater detail. With respect to the wireless communication unit 110, the broadcast receiving module 111 is typically configured to receive a broadcast signal and / or information associated with the broadcast from an external broadcast management entity over a broadcast channel. The broadcast channel may include a satellite channel, a terrestrial channel, or both. In some embodiments, two or more broadcast receiving modules 111 may be used to facilitate simultaneous reception of two or more broadcast channels, or support switching among broadcast channels. The mobile communication module 112 can transmit and / or receive wireless signals to and from one or more network entities. Typical examples of a network entity include a base station, an external mobile terminal, a server and the like.

[0016] In some embodiments, another mobile terminal (which may be configured similarly to the mobile terminal 100) may be a clothing device, for example a smart watch, smart glasses or a headset (HMD), which can exchange data with the mobile terminal 100 (or otherwise cooperate with the mobile terminal 100). The short-range communication module 114 can detect or recognize the clothing device, and allow communication between the clothing device and the mobile terminal 100. In addition, when the detected clothing device is a device that is authenticated to communicate with the mobile terminal 100, the controller 180, for example, can cause processed data to be transmitted in the mobile terminal 100 to the clothing device via the short-range communication module 114. From there, a user of the clothing device can use the data. processed in the mobile terminal 100 on the clothing device. For example, when a call is received in the mobile terminal 100, the user can answer the call using the dress device.

The location information module 115 is generally configured to detect, calculate, derive or otherwise identify a position of the mobile terminal. For example, the location information module 115 includes a global positioning system (GPS) module, a Wi-Fi module, or both. If desired, the location information module 115 may alternatively or additionally operate with any of the other modules of the wireless communication unit 110 to obtain data relating to the position of the mobile terminal.
[0017] By way of example, when the mobile terminal uses a GPS module, a position of the mobile terminal can be acquired using a signal sent from a GPS satellite. As another example, when the mobile terminal uses the Wi-Fi module, a position of the mobile terminal can be acquired based on information relating to a wireless access point (AP) that transmits or receives a mobile terminal. wireless signal to or from the Wi-Fi module. The input unit 120 may be configured to allow various types of input into the mobile terminal 120. Examples of such inputs include audio, picture, video input , data and user. An image and video input is often obtained using one or more cameras 121. Such cameras 121 can process still image or video image frames obtained by image sensors in a capture mode. video or picture. The processed image frames may be displayed on the display unit 151 or stored in the memory 170.
[0018] In some cases, the cameras 121 may be arranged in a matrix configuration to allow a plurality of images having various angles or focal points to be input to the mobile terminal 100. As another example, the cameras 121 can be located in a stereoscopic arrangement for acquiring left and right images for implementing a stereoscopic image.
[0019] The microphone 122 is generally implemented to allow audio input into the mobile terminal 100. The audio input can be processed in various ways according to a function performed in the mobile terminal 100. If desired, the microphone 122 may include algorithms various noise suppressors to suppress unwanted noise generated during the reception of external audio.
[0020] The user input unit 123 is a component that allows input by a user. Such user input may allow the controller 180 to control the operation of the mobile terminal 100. The user input unit 123 may include one or more of a mechanical input element (e.g. a touch , a button located on a front and / or rear surface or a side surface of the mobile terminal 100, a dome switch, a hand wheel, a hand switch and the like), or a touch sensitive input, among others. For example, the touch sensitive input may be a virtual key or a function key, which is displayed on a touch screen by software processing, or a touch key which is located on the mobile terminal at a location 25 which is other than on the touch screen. In addition, the virtual key or the visual key can be displayed on the touch screen in various forms, for example graphic, text, icon, video or one of their combinations. The detection unit 140 is generally configured to detect one or more of internal information of the mobile terminal, information of the surrounding environment of the mobile terminal, user information or the like. The controller 180 generally cooperates with the sending unit 140 to control the operation of the mobile terminal 100, or to execute a data processing, function or operation associated with an application program installed in the terminal. The detection unit 140 may be implemented using any of a variety of sensors, some of which will now be described in more detail.
[0021] The proximity sensor 141 may include a sensor for detecting the presence or absence of an object approaching a surface, or an object located near a surface, using an electromagnetic field, infrared rays, or the like without mechanical contact. The proximity sensor 141 may be arranged at an inner region of the mobile terminal covered by the touch screen, or near the touch screen. The proximity sensor 141 may for example include any one of a transmissive sensor type photoelectric sensor, a direct reflective type photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflecting type of photoelectric sensor, a proximity sensor to high frequency oscillation, a capacitance type proximity sensor, a magnetic type proximity sensor, an infrared proximity sensor, and the like. When the touch screen is implemented as a capacitance type, the proximity sensor 141 can detect the proximity of a pointer to the touch screen by changes in an electromagnetic field, which responds to the approach of a object having a conductivity. In this case, the touch screen (touch sensor) can also be categorized as a proximity sensor. The term "proximity touch" will often be used here to refer to the scenario in which a pointer is positioned to be close to the touch screen without coming into contact with the touch screen. The term "contact touch" will often be used here to refer to the scenario in which a pointer makes physical contact with the touch screen. For the position corresponding to the proximity touch of the pointer relative to the touch screen, such a position will correspond to a position where the pointer is perpendicular to the touch screen. The proximity sensor 141 can detect a proximity touch, and proximity touch patterns (e.g., distance, direction, speed, time, position, travel status, and the like). In general, controller 180 processes data corresponding to proximity taps and proximity tap patterns detected by proximity sensor 141, and outputs visual information to the touch screen. In addition, the controller 180 may control the mobile terminal 100 to perform different operations or process different data depending on whether a touch with respect to a point on the touch screen is either a proximity touch or a touch. contact. A touch sensor can detect a touch applied to the touch screen, such as the display unit 151, using any of a variety of touching methods. Examples of such touch methods include a resistive type, a capacitive type, an infrared type, and a magnetic field type, among others.
[0022] As an example, the touch sensor may be configured to convert pressure changes applied to a specific portion of the display unit 151, or to convert a capacitance occurring at a specific portion of the display unit. 151, as electrical input signals. The touch sensor may also be configured to detect not only an affected position and an affected area, but also touch pressure and / or touch ability. A touch object is generally used to apply a touch input to the touch sensor. Examples of typical touch objects include a finger, a pencil, a stylus, a pointer, or the like. When a touch input is detected by a touch sensor, corresponding signals can be transmitted to a touch controller. The touch controller can process the received signals and then transmit corresponding data to the controller 180. Accordingly, the controller 180 can detect which region of the display unit 151 has been touched. Here, the touch controller may be a separate component of the controller 180, combined with the controller 180, and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the controller 180 may perform the same or different commands depending on a type of touch object that touches the touch screen or a touch key provided in addition to the touch screen. It can be decided whether to execute the same command or a different command depending on the object that provides tactile input based on a current operating state of the mobile teiminal 100 or an application program currently running, for example.
[0023] 3031601 16 The touch sensor and proximity sensor can be implemented individually, or in combination, to detect various types of touch. Such touches include a short touch, a long touch, a multiple touch, a sliding feel, a light touch, a pinch to the inside, a pinch to the outside, a touch by scanning, a touch of pointing and the like. If desired, an ultrasonic sensor may be implemented to recognize positional information relating to a touch object using ultrasonic waves. The controller 180 may for example calculate a position of a wave generation source based on information detected by an illumination sensor and a plurality of ultrasonic sensors. Since the light is much faster than the ultrasonic waves, the time required for the light to reach the optical sensor is much shorter than the time required for the ultrasonic wave to reach the ultrasonic sensor. The position of the wave generation source can be calculated using this fact. For example, the position of the wave generation source can be calculated using the time difference from the time required for the ultrasonic wave to reach the sensor based on light as a reference signal. The camera 121 typically includes at least one camera sensor (CCD, CMOS, etc.), a photosensitive sensor (or image sensors) and a laser sensor. The implementation of the camera 121 with a laser sensor can allow the detection of a touch of a physical object with respect to a stereoscopic image in 3D. The photosensitive sensor may be laminated on, or overlapped by, the display device. The photosensitive sensor may be configured to scan the movement of the physical object near the touch screen. In more detail, the photosensitive sensor may include photodiodes and transistors at rows and columns for scanning the content received at the photosensitive sensor using an electrical signal that changes depending on the amount of light applied. Namely, the photosensitive sensor can calculate the coordinates of the physical object according to a variation of light to thereby obtain position information of the physical object. The display unit 151 is generally configured to output processed information in the mobile terminal 100. For example, the display unit 151 may display run screen information of an application program executing at the mobile terminal 100 or the user interface (UI) and graphical user interface (GUI) information in response to the execution screen information.
[0024] In some embodiments, the display unit 151 may be implemented as a stereoscopic display unit for displaying stereoscopic images. A typical stereoscopic display unit may employ a stereoscopic display scheme such as a stereoscopic scheme (a scheme with glasses), an autostereoscopic scheme (a scheme without glasses), a projection scheme (holographic scheme) or the like. The audio output module 152 is generally configured to output audio data. Such audio data may be obtained from any one of a number of different sources, so that audio data may be received from the wireless communication unit 110 or may have been stored in the memory 170. The audio data may be output during modes such as a signal receiving mode, a calling mode, a recording mode, a speech recognition mode, a broadcast receiving mode and the like The audio output module 152 may provide an audible output relating to a particular function (e.g., a receive signal receiving sound, a message receiving sound, etc.) performed by the mobile terminal 100. The module audio output 152 may also be implemented as a receiver, a speaker, a buzzer or the like. A haptic module 153 may be configured to generate various tactile effects that a user feels, perceives or otherwise experiences. A typical example of a tactile effect generated by the haptic module 153 is a vibration. The intensity, pattern, and the like of the vibration generated by the haptic module 153 may be controlled by a user selection or by adjustment by the control unit. For example, the haptic module 153 can output different vibrations in a combined or sequential manner.
[0025] In addition to the vibration, the haptic module 153 can generate various other tactile effects, including a stimulating effect such as a vertically movable spindle arrangement for contacting the skin, a spraying force, or an air suction force. through a jet orifice or suction opening, a skin feel, an electrode contact, an electrostatic force, an effect reproducing the sensation of cold and heat by using an element that can absorb or generate heat, and the like. The haptic module 153 may also be implemented to allow the user to experience a tactile effect through a muscular sensation such as the user's fingers or arm, as well as by transferring the tactile effect. by direct contact. Two or more haptic modules 153 may be provided according to the particular configuration of the mobile terminal 100. An optical output module 154 may output a signal to indicate event generation using light from a light source . Examples of events generated in the mobile terminal 100 may include message reception, call waiting, a missed call, an alarm, a calendar announcement, an e-mail reception, the receipt of information to through an application, and the like.
[0026] A signal outputted from the optical output module 154 may be implemented for the mobile terminal to emit monochromatic light or light of a plurality of colors. The signal output can be terminated when the mobile terminal detects that a user has verified the generated event, for example. The interface unit 160 serves as an interface for external devices to connect to the mobile terminal 100. For example, the interface unit 160 can receive data transmitted from an external device, receive power for transfer to elements and components within the mobile terminal 100, or transmit internal data of the mobile terminal 100 to such an external device. The interface unit 160 may include wired or wireless headphone ports, external power source ports, wired or wireless data ports, memory card ports, ports for connection to a computer. a device having an identification module, audio input / output (I / O) ports, video I / O ports, headphone ports, or the like. The identification module may be a chip which stores various information for authenticating the right of use of the mobile terminal 100 and may include a user identity module (UIM), a subscriber identity module (SIM) ), a universal subscriber identity module (USIM) and the like. In addition, the device comprising the identification module (also referred to herein as "identifying device") may take the form of a smart card. As a result, the identifier device can be connected to the terminal 100 via the interface unit 160. When the mobile terminal 100 is connected to an external cradle, the interface unit 160 can be used as a passageway to enable the delivery of the cradle. supplying the cradle to the mobile terminal 100 or may be used as a passageway for transferring various order signals entered by the user from the cradle to the mobile terminal. Various command signals or the power input from the cradle may function as signals to recognize that the mobile terminal is properly mounted on the cradle. The memory 170 may store programs to support operations of the controller 180 and store input / output data (eg, phone book, messages, still images, videos, etc.). The memory 170 can store data relating to various vibration and audio patterns that are output in response to touch inputs on the touch screen. The memory 170 may include one or more types of storage media including a flash memory, a hard disk, a semiconductor disk, a silicon disk, a micro type of multimedia card, a memory card (for example memory SD or DX, etc.), random access memory (RAM), static random access memory (SRAM), read only memory (ROM), electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM), programmable read only memory (PROM), magnetic memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk and the like. The mobile terminal 100 may also be operated in connection with a network storage device that performs the storage function of the memory 170 on a network, such as the Internet. The controller 180 may typically control the general operations of the mobile terminal 100. For example, the controller 180 may set or release a lockout state to restrict a user's entry of a control order relative to to applications when a status of the mobile terminal satisfies a pre-established condition. The controller 180 may also perform the control and processing associated with voice calls, data communications, video calls, and the like, or perform pattern recognition processing to recognize a handwritten input or a drawn input. performed on the touch screen in the form of characters (or word) or images, respectively. In addition, the controller 180 may control a component or combination of these components to implement various embodiments disclosed herein.
[0027] The power source unit 190 receives an external power supply or provides an internal power supply and provides the appropriate power required to operate the respective elements and components included in the mobile terminal 100. The power source unit 190 can include a battery, which is typically rechargeable or is detachably coupled to the terminal body for charging. The power source unit 190 may include a connection port. The connection port may be configured as an example of the interface unit 160 to which an external charger to provide power to recharge the battery is electrically connected.
[0028] As another example, the power source unit 190 may be configured to recharge the wireless battery without the use of the connection port. In this example, the power source unit 190 can receive power, transferred from an external wireless power transmitter, using one of an inductive coupling method that is based on magnetic induction. or a magnetic resonance coupling method which is based on electromagnetic resonance. Various embodiments described herein may be implemented in a computer readable medium, a machine readable medium or a similar medium using, for example, software, hardware, or a combination thereof.
[0029] Referring now to FIGS. 1B and 1C, the mobile terminal 100 is described with reference to a body of the bar terminal. However, the mobile terminal 100 may alternatively be implemented in any of a variety of different configurations. Examples of such configurations include watch type, fastener type, spectacle type, or as collapsible type, flapper type, sliding type, tilting type, and swivel type in which two and more than two bodies are combined together. to others in a relatively mobile way, and their combinations. The present discussion is often concerned with a particular type of mobile terminal (for example, a bar type, a watch type, a spectacle type and the like).
[0030] Nevertheless, such teachings as to a particular type of mobile terminal will also generally apply to other types of mobile terminals. The mobile terminal 100 will generally include a housing (for example a frame, a housing, a shell and the like) forming the appearance of the terminal. In this embodiment, the housing is formed using a front housing 101 and a rear housing 102. Various electronic components are incorporated in a space formed between the front housing 101 and the rear housing 102. less a middle case can furthermore be positioned between the front case 101 and the rear case 102. The display unit 151 is shown located on the front side of the terminal body for outputting information. As illustrated, a window 151a of the display unit 151 may be mounted on the front housing 101 to form the front surface of the terminal body together with the front housing 101. In some embodiments, electronic components may also be The examples of such electronic components include a detachable battery 191, an identification module, a memory card and the like. The back shell 103 is shown covering the electronic components, and this shell can be coupled in a manner that As a result, when the rear shell 103 is detached from the rear housing 102, the electronic components mounted on the rear housing 102 are exposed to the outside. As illustrated, when the rear shell 103 is coupled to the rear housing 102, a side surface of the rear housing 102 is partially exposed. In some cases, during coupling, the rear case 102 may be completely obscured by the back shell 103. In some embodiments, the back shell 103 may include an opening for exposing a camera 121b or audio output module 152b. The housings 101, 102, 103 may be formed by injection molding of a synthetic resin or may be formed of a metal, for example stainless steel (AI), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti) or similar.
[0031] As an alternative to the example in which the plurality of housings form an internal space for housing components, the mobile terminal 100 may be configured such that a housing forms the internal space. In this example, a mobile terminal 100 having a monocoque is formed so that a synthetic resin or metal extends from a side surface to a back surface. If desired, the mobile terminal 100 may include a water sealing unit to prevent the introduction of water into the terminal body.
[0032] For example, the water sealing unit may include a water seal which is located between the window 151a and the front housing 101, between the front housing 101 and the rear housing 102, or between the rear housing 102 and the back shell 103, to hermetically seal an internal space when these housings are coupled.
[0033] Figures 1B and 1C show some components as arranged on the mobile terminal. However, it should be understood that alternative arrangements are possible and fall within the teachings of the present disclosure. Some components may be omitted or rearranged. For example, the first handling unit 123a may be located on another surface of the terminal body, and the second audio output module 152b may be located on the side surface of the terminal body. The display unit 151 outputs information processed in the mobile terminal 100. The display unit 151 may be implemented using one or more suitable display devices. Examples of such suitable display devices include a liquid crystal display (LCD), a thin-film transistor (TFT-LCD) liquid crystal display, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), a flexible display, a display in 3 dimensions (3D), an electronic ink display, and their combinations. The display unit 151 may be implemented using two display devices, which may implement the same display technology or a different display technology. For example, a plurality of display devices 151 may be arranged on one side, spaced from each other, or these devices may be integrated, or these devices may be arranged on different surfaces.
[0034] The display unit 151 may also include a touch sensor that detects a touch input received at the display unit. When a touch is input to the display unit 151, the touch sensor may be configured to detect that touch and the controller 180 may for example generate a control command or other signal corresponding to the touch. Content that is entered by touch can be a text or numeric value, or a menu item that can be specified or designated in various modes. The touch sensor may be configured as a film having a touch pattern disposed between the window 151a and a display on a rear surface of the window 151a, or a metal wire that is patterned directly on the back surface. from the window 151a. Alternatively, the touch sensor can be integrally formed with the display. For example, the touch sensor may be disposed on a substrate of the display or within the display.
[0035] The display unit 151 may also form a touch screen in conjunction with the touch sensor. Here, the touch sensor can serve as a user input unit 123 (see Figure 1A). As a result, the touch screen can replace at least a portion of the functions of the first handling unit 123a. The first audio output module 152a may be implemented as a speaker to output voice audio, alarm sounds, multimedia audio reproduction, and the like. The window 151a of the display unit 151 will typically include an aperture to allow the audio generated by the first audio output module 152a to pass. An alternative is to allow the release of audio along an assembly gap 20 between the structural bodies (for example a gap between the window 151a and the front housing 101). In this case, an independently formed hole for outputting audio sounds may not be seen or otherwise obscured in appearance, further simplifying the appearance and fabrication of the mobile terminal 100. The optical output module 154 may configured to exit the light 25 to indicate the generation of an event. Examples of such events include message reception, call waiting reception, missed call, alarm, calendar announcement, email reception, information receipt through an application, and the like. When a user has verified a generated event, the control unit can control the optical output module 154 to stop the light output. The first camera 121a can process image frames as well as still or moving images obtained by the image sensor in a capture mode or a video call mode. The processed image frames may then be displayed on the display unit 151 or stored in the memory 170. The first and second handling units 123a and 123b are examples of the user input unit 123, which may be manipulated by a user to provide an input to the mobile terminal 100. The first and second handling units 123a and 123b may also be commonly referred to as a handling portion, and may employ any touch method that allows the user to realize manipulation such as touch, push, scroll, or the like. The first and second handling units 123a and 123b may also employ any non-tactile method that allows the user to perform manipulation such as proximity touch, pointing, or the like. Figure 1B illustrates the first handling unit 123a as a touch key, but possible alternatives include a mechanical key, a push button, a touch key, and combinations thereof. An input received at the first and second handling units 123a and 123b may be used in a variety of ways. For example, the first handling unit 123a may be used by the user to provide menu entry, a start, cancel, search, or the like key, and the second 123b handling unit may be used by the user. to provide an input for controlling a volume level that is outputted by the first or second audio output module 152a or 152b, to switch to a touch recognition mode of the display unit 151, or the like. As another example of the user input unit 123, a rear input unit may be located on the rear surface of the terminal body. The rear input unit may be manipulated by a user to provide an input to the mobile terminal 100. The input may be used in a variety of different ways. For example, the rear input unit may be used by the user to provide on / off input, start, end, scroll, volume level control outputted from the first or second audio output module 152a or 152b, switching to a touch recognition mode of the display unit 151, and the like. The rear input unit can be configured to allow touch input, push input, or combinations thereof.
[0036] The rear input unit may be located to overlap the display unit 151 on the front side in a direction of the thickness of the terminal body. For example, the rear input unit may be located on an upper end portion of the back side of the terminal body so that a user can easily manipulate it using an index when the user grips the terminal body with one hand. Alternatively, the rear input unit may be positioned at almost any location on the rear side of the terminal body. Embodiments that include the rear input unit may implement all or part of the functionality of the first handling unit 123a in the rear input unit. As such, in situations where the first handling unit 123a is omitted from the front side, the display unit 151 may have a larger screen. As a further alternative, the mobile terminal 100 may include a finger reader sensor that scans a user's fingerprint. The controller 180 may then use fingerprint information detected by the finger reader sensor as part of an authentication procedure. The finger reader sensor may also be installed in the display unit 151 or implemented in the user input unit 123. The microphone 122 is shown at one end of the mobile terminal 100, but other locations are possible. If desired, multiple microphones may be implemented, such an arrangement for receiving stereo sounds. The interface unit 160 may serve as a path for the mobile terminal 100 to interface with external devices. For example, the interface unit 160 may include one or more of a connection terminal for connection to another device (e.g., a listener, an external speaker, or the like), a port for a field communication near (for example, an infrared data association port (IrDA), a Bluetooth port, a wireless LAN port and the like), or a power source terminal for supplying the mobile terminal 100 with power. interface unit 160 may be implemented in the form of a card for receiving an external card, such as a subscriber identification module (SIM), a user identity module (UIM), or a memory card for storing information.
[0037] The second camera 121b is shown located at the rear side of the terminal body and includes an image capture direction that is substantially opposite to the image capture direction of the first camera unit 121a. If desired, the second camera 121a may alternatively be located at other locations, or may be moveable, to have an image capture direction different from that shown. The second camera 121b may include a plurality of lenses arranged along at least one line. The plurality of lenses may also be arranged in a matrix configuration. The cameras may be referred to as "network camera". When the second 12 lb camera is implemented as a network camera, images can be captured in a variety of ways using the plurality of lenses and images with better qualities. As shown in FIG. 1C, a flash 124 is shown adjacent to the second camera 121b. When an image of a subject is captured with the camera 121b, the flash 124 may illuminate the subject. As shown in FIG. 1B, the second audio output module 152b may be located on the body of the terminal. The second audio output module 152b may implement stereophonic sound functions together with the first audio output module 152a, and may also be used to implement a speakerphone mode for call communication. At least one antenna for wireless communication may be located on the body of the antenna. The antenna may be installed in the body of the terminal or formed by the housing. For example, an antenna that configures a portion of the broadcast receiving module 111 may be retractable into the body of the teiminal. Alternatively, an antenna may be formed using a film attached to an inner surface of the back shell 103, or a housing that includes a conductive material. A power source unit 190 for supplying power to the mobile terminal 100 may include a battery 191, which is mounted in the terminal body or detachably coupled to an exterior of the terminal body. The battery 191 can receive power via a power source cable connected to the interface unit 160. Also, the battery 191 can be wirelessly recharged using a wireless charger. The wireless load can be implemented by magnetic induction or electromagnetic resonance.
[0038] The back shell 103 is shown coupled to the rear housing 102 to obscure the battery 191, to prevent separation of the battery 191, and to protect the battery 191 from external impact or a foreign object. . When the battery 191 is detachable from the terminal body, the back box 103 can be detachably coupled to the back box 102. An accessory to protect an aspect or to assist or extend the functions of the mobile terminal 100 may also be provided. It can be arranged on the mobile terminal 100. As an example of an accessory, a hull or case for covering or accommodating at least one surface of the mobile terminal 100 can be arranged. The shell or holster can cooperate with the display unit 151 to extend the function of the mobile terminal 100. Another example of the accessory is a touch pen for assisting or extending a touch input to a terminal. touchscreen. Additional preferred embodiments will be described in more detail with reference to additional drawing figures. Those skilled in the art understand that the present features can be realized in a number of forms without departing from their characteristics. In the case of a general message transmission / reception application, the application supports the transmission and reception of multimedia contents such as a still image (hereinafter referred to as an image), a video and the like. The message transmission-reception application may transmit a text message or content using an online dialog window in which at least one or more external terminals are configured as peer terminals. An online dialog window outputs a history of sent-received messages with a peer terminal. In this case, the message history output can be scrolled in a specific direction. However, it may be convenient for a user to transmit a large amount of content using an online dialog window of general form. In the case of transmission and reception of a plurality of images, a history of transmission and reception of a plurality of the images is included in the history of the transmission and reception of the dialogue window. Online and previously sent and received messages are scrolled up.
[0039] With respect to a receiving peer terminal receiving a plurality of the images, the terminal is unable to select whether to receive an undesired image. From there, a data resource can be wasted. Accordingly, an embodiment of the present invention provides a control method capable of solving the above problem and more efficiently transmitting many contents. Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for efficiently transmitting a plurality of images using an on-line text message dialogue window according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 3 is a diagram of a first example of easy naming of a plurality of images according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the following, the present invention is explained with reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3 together. In step S201, the controller 180 identifies a peer terminal. In embodiments of the present invention described hereinafter, assume that a plurality of terminals 100 appear and that a message can be sent-received between the mobile terminals 100 so that the terminals identify themselves. each other. In the embodiments described below, each terminal can be classified as a mobile terminal A, a mobile terminal B, a mobile terminal C, etc. A configuration of each mobile terminal is represented by an alphabetical letter according to the configuration. For example, a controller of a mobile terminal A is shown at 180A. In step S202, the controller 180 executes a message transmission-reception application and can then be capable of transmitting and receiving a message with an identified peer terminal.
[0040] Figures 3 (a) through (c) are diagrams of an execution state of a mobile terminal A 100A of a sharing side wishing to share a plurality of images with a different peer terminal. In step S203, the controller 180A may output an online dialog window 301 including a history of messages sent-received via a touch screen 151A. Referring to an example shown in Fig. 3, the online dialog window 301 corresponds to a group online dialog window. Suppose that different users (Requester 1 and Requester 2) and a repository wishing to transmit 3031601 prescribed images to the different users join an online group dialogue function. The group online dialog window indicates a screen for transmitting and receiving a message with a plurality of peer terminals. The group online dialog window may include a text entry window for receiving a history entry of a sent-received message with a plurality of peer terminals and a transmission message. Referring to an example shown in Figure 3, it is assumed that a user (sharer) of a mobile terminal 100A, a first peer (requestor 1) and a second peer (requestor 2) join a callback function. group line. Transmission messages 311-1 to 3113 and receive messages 310-1 / 310-2 are output in a history 302 of transmitted-received messages. In this case, each of the transmission messages and the reception messages included in the history 302 of the transmitted-received messages can be output in order to be distinguished from each other. For example, as shown in Figure 3, the transmission messages are displayed on the right side of the online dialog window so as to be arranged and the reception messages are displayed on the left side of the online dialog window so to be arranged, whereby the present invention may not be limited. In step S204, the controller 180A selects (designates) a portion of images stored in a memory 170 or a cloud server by a selection (designation) of a user. In embodiments relating to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, a first example of easy designation of an image to be shared among a plurality of images is explained. The first example proposes to search for a favorite image using a search keyword. As shown in Fig. 3 (b), if a long touch input 10a of a button 303 (hereinafter referred to as an image designation button) for designating an output image on a group online dialog window 301 is received, the controller 180A can output a search keyword entry window 307 and a virtual keypad 306 on the touch screen 151A. If the prescribed keyword (Jeju Island) is entered in the search keyword entry window 307601, the controller 180A can search for images stored in the memory 170 based on the keyword. key entered. At the same time, in the case of an output of a search result 308, an embodiment of the present invention provides an efficient output method of the search result instead of simply listing the search result. The controller 180A according to an embodiment of the present invention can output the number of images, which are searched according to a category. Referring to FIG. 3 (c), controller 180 outputs the number 305-1 of searched images from images stored in memory 170 by the search keyword along with an image icon. image 304-1 so as to distinguish the images stored in the memory 170 of a video (film). And, the controller 180 can output the number 305-2 of videos searched from videos stored in the memory 170 by the search keyword along with a video icon 304-1.
[0041] In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the controller may search images stored in a locked WebDrive server with a mobile terminal 100 instead of the memory 170 and may then be able Include a result in the search result 308. Referring to an example shown in Figure 3, an example of the cloud server includes Google Drive, N Drive, and Box. In particular, the number 305-3 of searched images / videos displayed on a first computer cloud icon 304-3 corresponding to Google Drive, the number 305-4 of searched images / videos displayed on a second computer cloud icon 304 -4 corresponding to N Drive and the number 305-5 of images / videos 25 searched displayed on a third computer cloud icon 304-5 corresponding to Box may be included in the search result 308. The search result 308 may include in addition the total number of searched images / videos and an icon 304-6 thereof. In an embodiment of the present invention described hereinafter, a search result 308 may have a shape identical to a form mentioned earlier in FIG. 3. In the following, a method of ordering a designation of an image using a search result 308 with reference to FIG. 4.
[0042] Figure 4 is a diagram of a method of ordering designation of an image to be transmitted based on a category-ranked search result in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figs. 4 (a) and (b), the search result 308 mentioned earlier in Fig. 3 is taken out. According to embodiments described in FIGS. 4 (a) and (b), it is possible to determine whether the search result is transmitted to all the peer terminals belonging to an on-line dialogue window or a part of the peer terminals belonging to the dialog window based on a position where an icon is dragged and dropped.
[0043] As shown in Fig. 4 (a), if a prescribed icon 304-6 is touched and dropped to a prescribed position 403 of a group line dialog 301, the controller 180 may transmit images of search result corresponding to the prescribed icon 304-6 to all peer terminals. An example of the prescribed position 403 may correspond to a bottom area of the online dialogue window. In contrast, as shown in Fig. 4 (b), if a prescribed icon 304-6 is touched and slid 10c to a prescribed receive message 310-2 of the group line dialog 301, the controller 180 may transmit search result images corresponding to the prescribed icon 304-6 to a peer terminal corresponding to a main transmission entity of the receive message 310-2 only. As shown in the example, if many images are transmitted, it may be possible to waste a data resource for an unwanted image by a receiver side. In particular, if billing is carried out according to a quantity of data usage, the waste of a data resource may therefore lead to an increase in communication costs. Hence, an embodiment of the present invention proposes to transmit a thumbnail first [S205] for an image instead of the image itself. Subsequently, if a request for a preferred image is received from a peer terminal, which has verified the transmitted thumbnail, the image itself can be transmitted to the peer terminal in response to the request. This will be explained in detail later.
[0044] In step S206, the controller 180A may output a thumbnail list 400 for the thumbnail image transmitted in the group line dialog window 301. At the same time, according to a different embodiment of In the present invention, when the thumbnail list 400 is outputted in the group online dialog window 301, a confirmation button 402 is further output to confirm whether to transmit a thumbnail image. After confirmation by the confirmation button 402, the thumbnail image of step S205 can be transmitted. The thumbnail list 400 displays a first thumbnail 401-1, a second thumbnail 401-2 and a third thumbnail 401-3. Other thumbnails can be scrolled out. The scroll operation will be described later. At the same time, the thumbnail list 400 may preferentially display an image in which a face of a requestor is included (displaying the image before a different article). If there are many images in which a face 15 is included, one may be able to primarily exit an image in which a face of a plaintiff is roughly (an image on which an area of a face is large) . A sharer of an image may transmit a prescribed image to select or deselect the image prescribed on the thumbnail list 400. If a prescribed touch gesture 10d is received on the third thumbnail 401-3, the 20 command 180A can eliminate the third thumbnail 401-3 from the thumbnail list to transmit the third thumbnail 401-3. If a user selects or deselects a thumbnail, determines a thumbnail list to be transmitted and selects the confirmation button 402, the controller 180A may transmit thumbnail images according to the thumbnail list determined at the peer terminal (in the case of a thumbnail). Figure 4 (a), all peer terminals In the case of Figure 4 (b), a specific peer terminal) [S205]. In the following, we explain an online dialogue window according to an embodiment of the present invention and a scrolling direction of a thumbnail list with reference to FIG. 5.
[0045] Fig. 5 is an explanation diagram of a scrolling direction of an online dialog window and a thumbnail list according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0046] An objective of an embodiment of the present invention relating to Figure 5 is to give minimal impact to an online dialogue history displayed on an online dialog window although many images are shared with each other. others. This is because, if many images are shared with each other, a previously released online dialogue history is scrolled up. In particular, in order to check the previous online dialog history, it may be necessary to scroll a considerable amount. As a result, although many images are transmitted, an embodiment of the present invention proposes to display the many images in a single text bubble and scroll through the images in the text bubble. In particular, an embodiment of the present invention proposes that a scrolling direction in the text bubble becomes a different direction of a scrolling direction of an online dialog window.
[0047] FIGS. 5 (a) to (c) are diagrams of an execution state of a message transmission / reception application of a mobile terminal B, which has received a list of thumbnails. Specifically, Figure 5 (a) shows a direction towards which an online dialog window is scrolled. In general, a controller 180B outputs an in-line dialogue window 301 to scroll in the up-and-down direction 501-1. Figure 5 (b) shows a scrolling direction of a thumbnail list 400, which is output in a text bubble. The thumbnail list 400 according to one embodiment of the present invention may be scrolled in the left-to-right direction different from the up-down direction in response to a user's scroll command 10e. Subsequently, the controller 180B of the mobile terminal B 100B may further output an additional image request button 502 in a final portion of the thumbnail list 400. If the additional image request button 502 is selected 10f, the controller 180B may automatically transmit a request message for a different image to a sharing terminal (eg the mobile terminal A). An embodiment of receiving a request message for a different image via the additional image request button 502 is explained with reference to FIG. 6 in the following. Fig. 6 is a diagram of a method for controlling reception of an additional thumbnail list according to an embodiment of the present invention in the case of receiving a transmission request message of a different image . FIG. 6 (a) shows an execution state of a mobile terminal A 100A of a sharing side and FIGS. 6 (b) and (c) show an execution state of a mobile terminal B 100B of FIG. a requesting side.
[0048] If an input 10g touching an icon ("different image") included in an additional image request message, which is received from a mobile terminal B 100B, is received, as shown in Fig. 6 (a), The controller 180A again outputs a search result 308 and a user can designate a different image via the search result output 308.
[0049] Since a method of redesigning an image is identical to the method of naming an image mentioned earlier in FIG. 4, this time the explanation of the process of redesigning an image is omitted. The mobile terminal A 100A to which an image is again designated can transmit (repeat step S205) again a thumbnail image.
[0050] Referring to Fig. 6 (b), the mobile terminal B 100B can output a second thumbnail list 400-2 for the received thumbnail image of the mobile terminal A 100A. In this case, the controller 180B can output each item from the second thumbnail list 400-2 by scrolling the second thumbnail list in the left-to-right direction 501-2.
[0051] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method of easy switching between thumbnail lists. If it is assumed that a list of thumbnail images received again corresponds to a second thumbnail list 400-2 and a thumbnail image list received previously corresponds to a first thumbnail list 400-1, a switch between the first and second thumbnail list can be achieved based on a touch gesture made in a text bubble. In particular, if a touch-slip gesture 10h is received in a direction from top to bottom in a state of Fig. 6 (b) exiting the second thumbnail list 400-2, as shown in Fig. 6 (c), the controller 180B may output the first thumbnail list 400-1 by switching the second thumbnail list. At the same time, each item included in the thumbnail list 400 can be output via a scroll. On the other hand, if the number of articles is not small, it is necessary to have a function of sorting the articles in an appropriate order. The function is explained with reference to FIG. 7 in the following. Fig. 7 is a diagram of a sort control method of a thumbnail list in a mobile terminal of a requesting side, which wants to share an image, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0052] Fig. 7 (a) shows an execution state of outputting a thumbnail list via a touch screen 151B of a mobile terminal B 100B from a requesting side. The mobile terminal B outputs a thumbnail list for thumbnail images received from a mobile terminal A 100A of a sharing side. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a face recognition is applied to each thumbnail based on a prescribed received order and a thumbnail in which a face of a user of the mobile terminal B is included can be rearranged to a thumbnail. front part of a thumbnail list based on the applied face recognition. In particular, with respect to an applicant, the applicant may intend to preferentially check an image in which a face of the applicant is included. Figure 7 (b) shows an example of the prescribed order. Referring to the example shown in Fig. 7 (b), the prescribed order corresponds to a shaking gesture 10 of a mobile terminal 100, whereby the present invention may not be limited. At the same time, an embodiment of selecting a thumbnail from a thumbnail list shown in Figures 6 and 7 and requesting an original image for the selected thumbnail is explained with reference to the figure 8 in the following.
[0053] Fig. 8 is a diagram of a control method of selecting a thumbnail of a thumbnail list and requesting an original image for the selected thumbnail according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0054] Figures 8 (a) and (b) show an execution state of a mobile terminal B 100B of a requesting side and Figure 8 (c) shows a state of a mobile terminal A 100A of a sharing side. As shown in Fig. 8 (a), if a selection entry 10k is received on a thumbnail list 400 of a user, the controller 180 may output a thumbnail 800 so as to be identified. If a request button is selected 10m after the thumbnail is selected, the controller 180B may transmit a request message for the selected image to the mobile terminal A 100A of the sharing side.
[0055] A sharing request message 801 and the selected thumbnail image may be outputted to an on-line dialogue window of the mobile terminal A 100A, which has received the request message. If a confirmation button 802 is selected 10n, an original image corresponding to the selected thumbnail can be transmitted to the mobile terminal B 100B on the requesting side.
[0056] At the same time, an embodiment of the present invention proposes to cause the mobile terminal A 100A of the sharing side to directly transmit an image (in the case of an image stored in the mobile terminal A) or to introduce an authorization to share an image stored in a cloud server of the mobile terminal A 100A in response to a request of the original image. In particular, instead of directly transmitting an image, it can grant an access right for a cloud server of the image only. An embodiment of the mobile terminal B 100B is explained to which an access right for a cloud server is granted, with reference to FIG. 9 in the following.
[0057] Fig. 9 is a diagram of an image storage control method according to an embodiment of the present invention when a computer cloud access right is set. One embodiment of the present invention proposes to allow a user to select a storage size of an image to which an access right is granted for a computing cloud. If an access right for a cloud server is granted by a user of a mobile terminal A 100A, a user of a mobile terminal B 100B on a requesting side may receive a message 901 indicating that the access right is established.
[0058] Having received the message 901, such mobile terminal B 100B may output a pop-up window 902 to select a storage size of an image when a thumbnail image to be downloaded is selected 10p. If one of the image storage sizes is selected from the pop-up window 902, the controller 180B requests the cloud server to download the image with the selected image size and can download a picture. At the same time, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a control method capable of more conveniently checking a thumbnail in a thumbnail list.
[0059] Fig. 10 is a diagram of a thumbnail output control method for enlarging the thumbnail in a thumbnail list according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 10 (a), it shows a list of thumbnails 400 capable of being outputted to an online dialog window 301 and a text bubble 310-3 including the thumbnail list. If an outward pinch gesture 10q is received on a prescribed sticker article 401-4, the controller 180 may control the output of the prescribed sticker article or all of the sticker articles therefrom. magnifying (refer to Figure 10 (b)). In addition, an embodiment of the present invention proposes to output in addition detail information on the enlarged thumbnail article 401-4 in addition to the enlarged thumbnail article 401-4. The detail information 1001 corresponds to image metadata information and may include information about a location where the image is captured or information about a date on which the image is captured.
[0060] Referring to Fig. 10 (c), it shows the text bubble 310-3 output to include the magnified image and the detail information. Although a thumbnail image is magnified, a size of an area occupied by the thumbnail image is not significantly changed over an entire online dialog box area. From there, an interruption of message content of a different online dialog window can be minimized. On the contrary, it is explained a change of vignette for an inward pinching gesture in the following with reference to FIG.
[0061] Fig. 11 is a diagram of a summary information output control method on a thumbnail list according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 10 (a), it shows a thumbnail list 400 capable of being outputted to an online dialog window 301 and a text bubble 310-3 including the thumbnail list. If an inward pinching gesture 10 is received on a prescribed thumbnail item 401-4, the controller 180 may control the output of a summary information 1101 on the thumbnail list (refer to FIG. 11 (b)).
[0062] Summary information 1101 may include the number of images or files included in the thumbnail list. In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, it can further output the sum 1104 of selected image data capability together with the summary information. This is because, as mentioned in the foregoing description, billing is performed according to transmitted and received data. Fig. 11 (c) shows an execution state of a mobile terminal B 100B of a requesting side. An embodiment of the present invention proposes to additionally output a file name together with a share request message 311-5. If an output file icon on the share request message 311-5 is touched 10t, the controller 180B may additionally output a file name 1102 corresponding to the file icon. At the same time, a second applicant can submit a request for an image, which is shared with a first applicant. This embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG. 12 in the following. Fig. 12 is a diagram of an image sharing request control method, which is shared between other mobile terminals, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 12 (a), it shows an execution state of a touch screen 151C of a mobile terminal C 100C of a requesting side. An online dialog window 301 is output. If an image is shared between other terminals, an embodiment of the present invention proposes to cause a controller 180C to output a 310-4 message for the shared image and a request button 1201 (FIG. refer to Figure 12 (a)). In particular, in this case, a thumbnail for the shared image may not be seen. On the other hand, a simple 310-4 guide message can be output.
[0063] If the request button 1201 is touched 10u, the controller 180C may transmit a request message 310-5 to a mobile terminal A 100A of a sharing side. Fig. 12 (b) shows a state of the mobile terminal A 100A of the sharing side and it can verify that the request message 310-5 is included in an online dialogue window 301. If a confirmation button (Yes) 1202 included 10 in the request message 310-5 is selected 10v, the controller 180A can transmit a thumbnail image to the mobile terminal C 100C (repeat step S205). Similarly, as shown in Fig. 12 (c), a text bubble 310-6 including a thumbnail list 400 is outputted to an online dialog window 301 of the mobile terminal C 100C and a user of the mobile terminal C 100C can select a thumbnail item from the thumbnail list. At the same time, as mentioned in the previous description, when an access right is set up for a cloud server, if a mobile terminal leaves an online dialog window, it may be preferable to no longer give the right. access to the mobile terminal. This embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG. 13 in the following. Fig. 13 is a diagram of an automatic access right change control method for a cloud server according to an embodiment of the present invention when a mobile terminal A 100A of a sharing side leaves a function online group dialogue. Referring to Figure 13 (a), it shows a list of participants participating in an online group dialogue function. As shown in Figure 13 (a), assume that a sharer (Younghee Lee) and two claimants (Chulsoo Kim and Gildong Hong) are included in the list of 30 participants. And, suppose that the access right for a cloud server is granted to the requester (Chulsoo Kim) for a specific image. If a button quit 1303 to quit an online chat room is selected 10w, a 180A controller on a splitter side can leave a 3031601 group online chat function (terminate an online chat window) and a right access to the computer cloud granted in the online dialog window can be configured to be automatically released. Figure 13 (b) shows an access right configuration screen according to a user. Referring to Fig. 13 (b), it can be verified that the right set for the requestor (Chulsoo Kim) is automatically changed to a release state (not accessible) 1305. At the same time, according to the embodiment Referring to Fig. 3, images are searched using a search key word and a control method (first example) of naming a plurality of images in a desired result has been explained. In the following Figures 14 to 21, various examples of designation of a plurality of images are explained. In an embodiment explained with reference to FIG. 14, assume that a face of an on-line dialogue peer is stored in advance in a mobile terminal A 100A of a sharing device.
[0064] If a specific gesture is received, a controller 180A searches for an image including the stored face of the peer and can output a search result 308. In this case, as mentioned earlier in Figure 3, the search result 308 can output the number of images, which are searched according to a category.
[0065] For example, the specific gesture may include a gesture 10x of shaking of the mobile terminal A 100A in an output state of an online dialogue window via a touch screen 151A. Although the embodiment explained with reference to FIG. 14 corresponds to a control method of searching an image based on faces of all the counterparts participating in an on-line dialogue function, it is also possible to designate a specific counterpart. As shown in Fig. 15 (a), if a handover gesture 10x of a mobile terminal while a message received from a homologous terminal of "Chulsoo Kim" is touched lOy is received, the controller 180 searches for images in which a face of a homologue ("Chulsoo Kim") is included and can output a search result 308. In the following, an example is explained, which is different from the example of FIG. to designate a specific homologue with reference to Figure 16 in the following.
[0066] At the same time, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 15, although a different hand of a hand holding the mobile terminal A 100A is used for touching 10y, it can touch a message using of an inch of the hand holding the mobile terminal.
[0067] Referring to FIG. 16 (a), if a 10z touch input of a 310-6 message received from a user's peer terminal ("Gildong Hong") and a touch-to-a-touch image designation 303 is received on an online dialog window 301 of the mobile terminal A 100A, the controller searches for images in which a user's face ("Gildong 10 Hong") corresponding to a transmission entity received image 3106 is included and can output a search result 308. At the same time, the specific peer designation control method, which is explained with reference to FIG. 16, can be used in a meaningful manner. to be combined with a different search process.
[0068] For example, as shown in Fig. 17 (a), when a first search result 308-1 is output based on a prescribed search keyword such as "Jeju Island", if a prescribed counterpart (Gildong Hong) is designated, the controller searches for images in which a face of the counterpart is again included and can output a second search result 308-2. In this case, in order to designate the prescribed counterpart, a gesture 10aa of touching a received message 310-6 and touch slipping to the first search result 308-1 can be used. At the same time, if face information on a peer is not stored, a face of a peer can be directly captured by activating a camera. This embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG. 18 in the following. Fig. 18 is a diagram of a control method of capturing an image via an activated camera and designating a plurality of images based on the captured image according to an embodiment of the present invention. In Figure 18 (a), assume a situation where a requestor 30 requests an image in which the requestor is captured for a user. If the user does not have information about an applicant's face, the user can capture an image by immediately activating a camera.
[0069] Referring to Fig. 18 (a), a control member 180A of a mobile terminal A 100A of a sharing side receives a selection input of an image designation button 303. If the Image designation 303 is selected 10bb, the controller 100A automatically activates the camera 121 and can capture a face of a peer using the camera based on a capture command from the user. If the face of the peer is captured, the controller 180A searches for images based on the captured face of the peer and can output a search result 308.
[0070] In the embodiment mentioned in the preceding description, a method of ordering designation of a plurality of images in an image search result 308 at one time has been explained. In the following, we explain a method of ordering individual designation of an image via a list of thumbnails.
[0071] Fig. 19 is a diagram of a method of controlling individual designation of an image via a thumbnail list according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 19 (a), if an image designation button 303 is selected 10cc and a prescribed icon 304-6 is selected, as shown in Fig. 19 (b), the controller 180 can output a list of thumbnails. It may further output a storage position indicator 1901 on each thumbnail item 1900 to indicate a position at which each thumbnail item is stored. An indicator such as "Gallery" can be output to an image stored via a gallery application on the mobile terminal 100. An indicator such as "Google" can be output to an image stored via Google Drive. An indicator such as Naver "can be output on an image stored with N Drive. If a touch gesture is received on a prescribed thumbnail article 1900, as shown in Fig. 19 (b), the controller 180 may configure an image corresponding to the thumbnail article 1900 to be transmitted or shared to / with a peer terminal on an in-line dialogue window 301. According to a different embodiment of the present invention, if a touch gesture 10ee is received on a prescribed sticker article 1900, as shown in FIG. 19 (c) the controller 180 may output a pop-up window 1902 to designate a peer terminal with which the image is to be shared. If a prescribed peer terminal is selected via the output pop-up window 1902, the controller may control the transmission or sharing of an image corresponding to the thumbnail article 1900 to / with the prescribed peer terminal selected on the In the following, a method of ordering the designation of an image according to a date with reference to FIG. 20 is explained. FIG. 20 is a diagram of a method for controlling the designation of an image. image according to a date in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 20 (a), a controller 180A of a mobile terminal A 100A of a sharing side outputs a list of thumbnails 2000. If an order lOgg to touch a scroll bar of the list thumbnail output 200 is received, the controller 180A can additionally output a date 2001 15 corresponding to the scroll bar. As shown in Figure 20 (b), if the lOgg touch is slipped 10h, we can change a date to a 2011 date corresponding to a slipped position. If a prescribed time elapses while the lOgg touch is maintained, the controller 180A can automatically output images corresponding to the date 20 as a search result 308 (refer to Fig. 20 (c)). At the same time, a designation of the images can be made based on a location at which the images are captured. In the following, we explain a method of ordering designation of an image based on a location at which the image is captured with reference to Figure 21.
[0072] Fig. 21 is a diagram of an image designation control method based on a location at which the image is captured. Referring to Fig. 21 (a), a controller 180A of a mobile terminal A 100A of a sharing side outputs a thumbnail list 2000. If a touch gesture 10jj is received on a specific item 1900, such as 30 shows Fig. 21 (b), the controller 180A can output a capture location 2102 corresponding to the specific item 1900. If the picked out slot 2102 is selected 10kk, the controller 180A searches for images captured in a location identical to the capture location 2102 and can output a search result 308 (refer to Figure 21 (c)). At the same time, despite the identical capture location 2102, it may be unnecessary to search for location information with a completely identical condition. In particular, captured images can be searched within a prescribed radius from the capture location 2102 or images from a location belonging to an administrative region identical to the capture location 2102. At the same time, it is explained with reference to Figs. 22-25 in the following a different embodiment of naming an image based on a location at which the image is captured and a date on which the image is captured. Figs. 22-25 are diagrams of an image designation control method based on a location at which the image is captured and a date on which the image is captured according to an embodiment. of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 22 (a), a controller 180A of a mobile terminal A 100A of a sharing side outputs a list of thumbnails 2000. If an input 10mm of selection of a specific item 1900 is received, the controller 180A may output a popup window 2200 including a date 2201 to which the specific item 1900 is captured and a location 2202 at which the specific item is captured. A method of searching for an image is explained by controlling the popup window 220 with reference to FIGS. 23 and 24 in the following.
[0073] An embodiment of the present invention proposes to use a capture date 2201 and a capture location 2202 as an image search condition and cause a user to enable or disable the image search condition. . Figs. 23 (a) and (b) show a state in which a search condition of the capture date 2201 is deactivated. In order to indicate that the capture date is disabled, a strike is displayed on the capture date 2201. Referring to Figure 23 (a), a capture location 2202 such as' Ora-dong Jeju-si Jeju island Is enabled as a search condition and 3031601 captured images at capture location 2202 are output according to a date file. When a capture location 2202 such as "Ora-dong Jeju-si Jeju Island" is activated as a search condition, if "Jeju-si" is selected, the controller 180A excludes a segmented administrative region such as that "Ora-dong" from the search condition (grading 2303, Figure 23 (b)), searches for captured images in "Jeju-si" and can output the searched images. In this case, as shown in Figure 23 (b), a name of an administrative region such as "Jeju-si" can be displayed so that it can be identified 2301.
[0074] If an input lOpp for selecting a date file (9/7 (Sunday)) is received, the controller 180 may output a detail image thumbnail corresponding to the date. Figs. 24 (a) and (b) show a state for which a search condition of the capture location 2202 is disabled. In order to indicate that the capture location is disabled, a grading is displayed on the capture location 2202. When a capture date 2202 such as "September 5, 2014 17:50" is enabled as a condition of If "5" is selected, the controller 180A excludes a segmented time such as "17:30" from the search condition and may output a strike as shown in Fig. 23 (a). Subsequently, the controller sets "5 September 2014" as the reference date and can output images corresponding to a date close to the reference date including the reference date according to a file (2402-1 to 2402-4). The date can be set based on a touch gesture 1Orr received on 25 "5". If the date is set, as shown in Figure 24 (b), folders can be sorted based on the set date. Fig. 25 is a diagram of a method for ordering the designation of pictures distinguished from each other according to a folder as a sharing picture according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0075] Referring to Figs. 25 (a) and (b), as mentioned earlier in Fig. 24, they show a result that images are searched based on capture date 2201 and capture location 2202. If a confirmation button 2501 is selected, the controller 180 searches for images corresponding to the condition (2201/2202) and can output a search result 308. At the same time, according to the embodiment mentioned above, Early in reference to FIG. 3, images are searched based on a search keyword entered by a sharer. In the following, we explain with reference to Figure 26 an image search control method of a sharing side so that a requestor enters a keyword directly. Fig. 26 is a diagram of a method of controlling reception of a search keyword from a requesting side and searching for an image based on a search keyword according to a search mode. embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 26 (a), it shows an online dialogue window of a mobile terminal B 100B of a requesting side. If a prescribed button is selected 10uu after a search keyword 2601 is entered, the search keyword 2601 can be issued to a mobile terminal A 100A of a sharing side.
[0076] Figs. 26 (b) and (c) show a state of the mobile terminal A 100A of the sharing side to which the search keyword 2601 is issued. As shown in Fig. 26 (b), the controller 180A may output a popup window 2602 on an online dialog window 301 to query whether to search for images based on the search keyword. 2601.
[0077] If a confirmation button is selected lOvv, the controller 180 searches for images based on the search keyword 2601 issued and can output a search result 308. At the same time, a keyword of search can also be designated on a received message. This will be explained with reference to Figure 27 in the following.
[0078] Fig. 27 is a diagram of a method of controlling the designation of a search keyword in a received message according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 27, it shows an online dialog window 301 of a mobile terminal A 100A of a sharing side. As shown in Fig. 27 (a), if an outward pinching gesture 10ww is received on a received message 310-7, the controller 180 may display a first word 2701-1 included in the received message. 310-7.
[0079] If a 10xx switching gesture is received on the received message 310-7, as shown in Fig. 27 (c), the controller 180 can output a second word 2101-2 instead of the first word 2101-1. so as to switch from the first word to the second word.
[0080] If a gesture of touching lOyy designating a prescribed counterpart is received while the second word 2101-2 is touched, the controller 180A may control the search for the images based on the second word 2101-2 and the counterpart prescribed. In the aforementioned embodiment, a method of controlling designation of a date or location for selecting a plurality of images at the same time has been explained. In the following description, there is provided a more convenient designation control method of a date or location. In addition, an image search control method based on a person captured in an image is further explained in addition to the image search control method based on date and location. The date, location, and person referred to above are referred to as an image search category. In particular, if a user selects a date category, the user designates a preferred date and may then be able to use the preferred date as a search condition for an image.
[0081] Fig. 28 is a diagram of a change control method of an image search condition category according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to one embodiment of the present invention, if a touch-slip input is received in a first direction, the present invention proposes to change a category of image search condition. Referring to Fig. 20 (a), the controller 180A of the mobile terminal 100A of the sharing side outputs a list of thumbnails 2000. The thumbnail list may correspond to a list of thumbnails 2000 output on a gallery application. If a touch-slip entry is received on the thumbnail list output 2000 or a run screen of the gallery application in a first direction, the controller 180A may change a category of a search condition images in a second category from a first category. As an example shows, if a touch-slip input is received in a horizontal direction of a screen, the image search condition can be changed to a slot category from a date category. . This will be explained in more detail according to a touch step. Referring to Fig. 28 (a), if an order lOzz for touching a scroll bar 2803 of the thumbnail list output 2000 is received, the controller 180AS may further output a date 2001 corresponding to a point 2803 In particular, suppose that a category of an image search condition is set 2801 by a date. If a slip entry for dragging the touch point of the scroll bar 2803 is received, as mentioned in the previous description, the date can be changed. If an entry 10ab sliding in a first direction (horizontal direction in the drawing) is received while the lOzz touch is maintained, the controller 180A can change the category 2802 of the image search condition to the second category (in the example, from date to location) from the first category (switching from Figure 28 (a) to (b)). As shown in an example of Fig. 28 (b), the controller may output an image search condition corresponding to the slot category. Referring to Figure 28 (b), "City Hall" 2804 is shown as an example of the image search condition. If an entry sliding in a second direction is received, the above-mentioned image search condition may be switched to a different condition (e.g., from Jeju Island City Hall) (will be described with reference to Figure 29) . The image search condition (s) corresponding to the category of location may be retrieved from image tag information stored in memory 170. Subsequently, if the slip entry in the first direction is continuously input lOac, the controller 180A can change the image search condition of the second category to a third category (in the example, from location to person) (in switching from Figure 28 (b) to (c)). As shown in an example of Fig. 28 (c), the controller may output an image search condition corresponding to a category of person. In Fig. 28 (c), "John" 2806 is shown as an example of the image search condition. In particular, if the image search condition such as "John" 2806 is selected, the controller 180A searches for matching images with a person such as John (i.e., including a person such as than John) and can then provide the images to a user. Similarly, if an entry sliding in a second direction is received, the above-mentioned image search condition may be switched to a different condition (eg from John to Kim). Hereinafter, a method of switching control between image search conditions in a switched location category in response to a touch-and-slip input in a second direction is explained in more detail with reference to FIG. . Fig. 29 is a diagram of a switching control method between image search conditions in a switched location category in response to a touch-slip input in a second direction according to an embodiment of the present invention. invention.
[0082] Referring to Fig. 29 (a), a slot category is selected by the order method mentioned earlier in Fig. 28 and a first image search condition such as "City Hall" 2804 is designated . If an input 10AD sliding in a second direction (in one example, a vertical direction) is received while a touch 1 Ozz is maintained, the controller 180A can switch the first image search condition in one second. Image search condition (in the example, from Jeju Island City Hall). As mentioned in the foregoing description, the image search condition included in the slot category can be retrieved from image tag information stored in memory 170.
[0083] If a slip input is continuously received while the lOzz touch is maintained, it appears that the second image search condition is changed to a third image search condition. In the following, when an image search condition is designated, a method of controlling the supply of a plurality of images corresponding to the designated image search condition is explained with reference to FIG. Fig. 30 is a diagram of a method for controlling delivery of a plurality of images corresponding to a designated image search condition 3031601 when the image search condition is designated according to an embodiment of the present invention. . Referring to Fig. 30 (a), this shows a state of the image search condition mentioned earlier in Fig. 29. In an example shown in Fig. 30 (a), the search condition is switched to "Jeju Island" 2804. In this switched state, if an order (for example, a long touch input holding a lOzz key for longer than a prescribed time) to designate the search condition of image is received from a user, as shown in FIG. 30 (b), the controller 180A can control the automatic selection 3001 of at least one or more images corresponding to the designated image search condition . For example, as shown in Figure 30 (b), selected images can be images with a checkbox automatically selected. After the checkbox is selected / released by a user, if a send button 3002 is selected, the controller 180A may transmit the selected image (s) to a peer terminal. If the peer terminal is not yet designated (for example if a plurality of images are selected on a gallery application), as shown in Figure 30 (c), the controller may output a list of peers. 3003 to designate a peer terminal. At the same time, as mentioned in the preceding description, in the case of the transmission of a plurality of images to a designated counterpart, it is possible to transmit thumbnail images of a plurality of the images only instead of directly transmitting a plurality of images. images according to an embodiment of the present invention. If a peer terminal, which has received the thumbnail images only, designates a preferred one of a plurality of images and requests to transmit the preferred image, it may transmit image data for the designated image only. As mentioned in the foregoing description, preferentially transmitted thumbnail images may be outputted to an in-line dialog window 301 in the form of a thumbnail list 400 mentioned earlier in FIG. 4 (c). Various embodiments may be implemented using a machine readable medium on which instructions for execution by a processor are stored to perform various methods presented herein.
